O LORD, my foes are multiplied;
Against me many rise!
They say of me, “He has no help,
Though he on God relies.”

But You, my shield and glory, LORD,
My head You lifted high.
And from His holy hill the LORD
Gave answer to my cry.

I lay down, slept, and woke again;
The LORD sustains my life.
I will not fear ten thousand strong
Surrounding me with strife.

LORD, rise and save me, O my God;
For You subdue my foes!
You strike the jaw of wicked men,
And smash their teeth with blows.

Deliverance is of the LORD,
To grant it as He will;
O may the blessing that You give
Be on Your people still.

My God, My God, O why have You forsaken Me?

All who see me laugh at me, they mock me and they shake their heads:    
“He relied on the Lord, let the Lord be his refuge.”

As dogs around me, they circle me about.    
Wounded me and pierced me, I can number all my bones.

My clothing they divided, for my garments casting lots,    
O Lord, do not desert me, but hasten to my aid.

I will praise you to my people, and proclaim you in their midst,    
O fear the Lord, my people, give glory to God’s name.

John 10

I believe in God the Father Almighty,
Maker of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ,
His only-begotten Son, our Lord,
Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, dead, and buried.
He descended into hades.
The third day He rose again from the dead.
He ascended into heaven and sits
at the right hand of God the Father Almighty.
From there He shall come to judge
the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy catholic church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting.
Amen.

O God, my soul is in despair, so I remember You
From Jordan's land, from Mizar's hill, 

and from Mount Hermon too.
Your waterfalls, like thunder, roar 

and deep to deep will call.
Your waves have all rolled over me 

on me Your breakers fall.

The LORD commands His steadfast love 

to be with me each day
By night His song will be with me; 

To God, my Life, I'll pray.
I say to God, my only rock, 

“O why forget me so?
Why must I grieve at all the harm 

committed by the foe?

As if to shatter all my bones 

my adversaries say,
“O tell us now, where is your God?” 

They taunt me all the day.
O why, my soul, do you despair? 

Why so discouraged be?
Hope now in God, I'll praise Him still. 

My help, my God is He.

In the Lord I put my trust
How can you say to my soul,
”Flee as a bird to your mountain”?
For look! The wicked bend their bow,
They make ready their arrow on the string,
That they may shoot secretly at the upright in heart.
If the foundations are destroyed,
What can the righteous do?

The Lord is in His holy temple
The Lord’s throne is in Heav’n;
His eyes behold, His eyelids test the sons of men
The Lord tests the righteous,
But the wicked and the one who loves violence His soul hates.
Upon the wicked He will rain coals;
Fire and brimstone and a burning wind
Shall be the portion of their cup.
For the Lord is righteous,
He loves righteousness;
His countenance beholds the upright.

Marvelous grace of our loving Lord
Grace that exceeds our sin and our guilt
Yonder on Calvary’s mount outpoured
There where the blood of the Lamb was spilt

Grace, grace, God’s grace
Grace that will pardon and cleanse within
Grace, grace, God’s grace,
Grace that is greater than all our sin

Sin and despair like the sea waves cold
Threaten the soul with infinite loss
Grace that is greater, yes grace untold
Points to the refuge, the mighty cross

Dark is the stain that we cannot hide
What can avail to wash it away?
Look, there is flowing a crimson tide
Whiter than snow you may be today

Marvelous, infinite, matchless grace
Freely bestowed on all who believe
You that are longing to see His face
Will you this moment His grace receive?

Luke 19:41-48

We will feast in the house of Zion
We will sing with our hearts restored
He has done great things we will say together
We will feast and weep no more

We will not be burned by the fire
He is the Lord our God
We are not consumed by the flood
Upheld protected gathered up

In the dark of night before the dawn
My soul be not afraid
For the promised morning oh how long
Oh God of Jacob be my strength

Every vow we’ve broken and betrayed
You are the faithful one
And from the garden to the grave
Bind us together bring shalom
